"Queer!" commented the storekeeper.
"We use 'cm altogether, and have no

Then he took three or four from
the box, scratched them one after an
other on his trousers, easily produced
t light, and then assured her the
matches were all right.
"Mcbbe they be," she replied; but
I ),ave too much to do to walk three
miles here and back whenever I want
light for the sake of striking the

An Annual Occurrence
There was a wordy row in the next

the areaway.
"I tell you, John Skinner," yells Mrs.
Skinner, "I must have a new fall hat,

fall hat but the frame, sir the frame,
just the wires! And no woman can't
wear no hat they ain't nothing left of
but the wires!"
Enough! Mrs. Skinner appears to
have found a skeleton in the closet, and

FARM
MATTERS.
Trial Cropt,
The lnrRPRt trial t'ropg linve been ob
tained wbore fertilizers were oiiplleJ
Ubernlly, nnd In every ense the In.
creased crop more thnn paid for the ad
ditional expense of fertilizers. The
ilants do not use oil of the fertilizer;
the first year, nnd the succeeding sea
son assists In the gain from the appli
cation. Salt na a Fertiliser.
There arc many Inquiries about suit
ns a fertilizer. 8alt Is rarely of any
use as a fertilizer proper. The ele
ments of which It is composed am
found In most soils in sufficient
amounts for oil except for such plants
os asparagus, wlinse natural borne Is
by the seaside. But salt is found In
practice to have much more value than
would be supposed. Its effect Is best
ou rich land in vegetable mutter, which
the salt, In the small amounts usually
ii pi il led, helps to decompose. In larger
quantities salt Is a preservative from
decomposition, but no farmer -would
think of applying enough to Injure his
land. .-
Worms at Soli Itenovators.
Earth worms are not soil formers,
for they are seldom met villi In soils
that are destitute of organic matter.
They are simply renovators. Every
time a worm Is driven by dry -weather,
or any other cause, to descend deep. It
brings to the surface, when It empties
lie contents of its body, a few particles
of fresh earth. At the same time lt
fertilizes the subsoil by opening up
passages -which encourage the roots of
plants to penetrate deeper, these pas
sages being lined with excreted mat
ter, which provides a store of nourish
ment for the roots. On meadow land
Darwin found these worm casts
amount annually to eighteen tons an
acre, nnd on good arable land to ubout
ten tons. American fertilizer.
A Small Work Bench.
'A small -work bench is very conve
nient for doing small jobs of repairing,
tiet a long, deep, but narrow, empty
grocery box and mount it upon legs
upon Its side as shown. This provides
not only a work bonch, but a Ebelf be-
low It for keeping tools. The cover of
the box can be hinged to the front for
the purpose of keeping the tools more
secure. There Is not a furm In th-?
country that can afford to be without
at least a suiull bench on -which to
make repairs and to construct the
small articles needed In carrying on
farm operations. New York Tribune
Furmer.
Growing Blueberries From Seed.
The Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station reports that they have found It
comparatively easy to grow blueber
ries from seed. They used good pot
ting soil, to which leaf mould had been
added, -washed the seed from the pulp,
and allowed lt to freeze during the
winter, then sowed It In the spring
thickly on the surface of the soil,
packed lt down -with a board and cov
ered -with a slight sprinkling of soli.
They were handled once, and later in
the summer wero transferred to a cold
frame, whero they were covered with
litter during the whiter. The next
spring they wen? transplanted Into
beds, shaded until established and
made a good growth during the sum
mer. They say the low blueberry,
"Vaccineum I'ennsylvanlcum," will
fruit In three or four years, whll? the
high bush, "Vaeeiueum corynbosum,"
requires from four to six years. We
think the shortest period they name for
either 1b at least a year too long, but
will not dispute the matter. Both
these varieties are relatively easy to
transplant either from swamps or up
land, and they may be propagated by
grafting or division of the roots. A
we called attention to th? possible cul
tivation of thPBe berries sevewl years
ngo wo feel an Interest in this matter,
and hope to see them grown as com
monly as strawberries and blackberries
ore now. The Cultivator.
Sretematle Storing; of Humnt.
One of the greatest advantages I ob.
tain from a cover crop Is the constant
storage In the soil of humus. A soli
1'lcU In humus Is also a soil propurl;
drained. In many soils the lack of
humus permits the best elements of
fertility, no 'matter In what form ap
plied, to leach out and go to waste.
Sometimes they merely leuch down tc
the subsdll, but even there they are
wasted to most crops. Our surface
feeding crops will not go down to 1 lie
subsoil after rich humus or ferlilltj
leached down there, because of a toe
porous and open surface soil. Th
cover crop plants the humus In the sur
face soil, aiid thereby hojds Jhe fertll
Izliig elements of "potash, "phosphoric
acUnkndTiiti'bgcn. They are held ther
In a position whero the roots of tht
plants can most readily reach and util
ize them. ."
Any cover top will do this work
Bome, of course, answer the purpost
much better than any others, but 8
crop that furnishes an ubuudance of
green foliage will la time fill the sol'
with rich limuus. Therefore cov?)
crops have been used by ino continu
ally for systematic storing of humus li
the soil. My laud Is so open and por
oub that nearly all fertilizers woult
quickly leach through If It were not fo)
this practice of planting cover cropi
to prevent the wuste. Humus In tin
soil gives strength and vitality ti
plants. It furnishes the bone ant
marrow 'to the soil, and makes it rlcl
lu possibilities. When the soil li
drained steadily year after year, anf
no new humus added, lt becomes life
less, and no amount of artificial fertlll
ciitlou will compensate for the loss.
B. L. Andreas, In American Cultivator.
POULTRY NOTES
Killing Tonne; Chicken.
The chicken Is suspended by the legs
from a long piece of scantling, which
extends across one corner of the chick
en yard, resting on the top rails of the
fence. It Is stuck In the upper bock
part of the mouth ond bleeds to death
before It Is removed. Father kills them,
using his pocket knife. I do the pick
ing, but never begin until they are
dead. I sit on a low chair, with a
chicken on my lap. Never scald
broiler or roaster.
After all the feathers are rlueked I
remove all the pin feathers, using a
dull knife; the feather is grasped be
tween the knife and thumb and pulled
out. When perfectly clean It Is thrown
Into a pail of cold water for an hour
or two, then scrubbed all over, and
hung up In the cellar until called for,
which is olwoys If possible the same
day It Is killed. It takes me about one
half hour to dress a chicken. Mrs.
Leonard Johnson, In American Agri
culturist. Breeding- For Weight nnd Fkri.
For market fowls of greatest weight
select a strain reputed to combine gi
gantic proportions with fine, tender
grain and delicacy of flavor. It Is ad
visable to secure a big hen as well as
a huge cock, Instead of purchasing
eggs from stock you have never seen.
Of this hen's eggs set only the largest,
of course avoiding double-yolked ones.
In future seasons pick out the largest
hens for breeders nnd set their largest
eggs. I5y ibis culling process you will
work Into a flock of mammoth hens,
changing only tho cock when fear of
Inbreeding is Incurred.
For layers follow methods In line
with this. Choose n laying strain, then
for breeders separate the best layers
of the flock, each year separating tho
best layers of the season's hatch nnd
killing off the rest. One may in time
breed Into n good llot-k by breeding
from his own largest hens for weight,
and from his best layers for a laying
strain, but quicker and surer results
are obtained by beginning with a pair
or trio of known reputation. L. L.
Trott, in Orange Judd Farmer.
Keen the Feed and Water Clcnn.
Here is a simple arrangement which
will be much appreciated by the farmer
ar.d keeper of poultry, the patent on
the device having been granted to Er
nest II. Mack. In constructing the
feeder two triangular boards are se
cured to the end of a base board of tho
desired length. Then two slatted sec-
DEVICE FOIt THE POTJliTRY YARD.
tlons are hinged to the sides of the
base, with buttons near the apex of
each triangle to lock the sides together.
To insert the feed and water dishes
the buttons are turned and the slatted
sides allowed to drop back on the
ground, affording free access to tho
Interior. The advantage of this feeder
Is that It prevents crowding, nnd keeps
the fowls out of the dishes. Trovlslon
Is also made for beating the feed and
water In cold weather by placing a
lamp In a protected casing beneath tho
water reservoir. Philadelphia Itecord.
Good Layer.
A few good layers like a few good
cows come by accidental breeding.
This number can be greatly Increased
by selection and beginning at the foun
dation tlje breeding stock. Instead
of selecting the eggs for hatching from
the egg basket or at random, as has
been the custom for years, lt would bo
well to select eggs from hens that are
unusually good layers. It does not re
quire an adept to select the business
hen. One can very readily become ac
quainted with the hens that are good
layers. The bustler is always busy.
If no other menus may bo at hand to
select eggs, it would bo well to have a
pea or a house or a room where several
of the best layers can be kept and their
eggs used for hutching purposes.
In buying eggs lt will pay to give a
little advance over the ordinary prices
to obtain eggs from a breeder who lias
employed methods that will increase
this habit lu his hens. It Is much more
to be admired and sought for than eggs
of standard merit which have been se
lected on account of their feathering.
One should manage his poultry as ho
does his dairy If be would have best re
suits. This is for the purpose of ob
taining tho most profit. The hens
should never be permitted to become
overfat, which can be obviated by feed
ing the grain In straw or chaff. Never
use eggs from a hen that has been
sick with any constitutional disease.
Constitutional diseases can be trans
mitted, and dose attention should bo
given this matter. Poultry Farmer.
Hint.
Keep the feed box full.
Onion tops chopped fine are ezzce'.leut
for poultry.
Comfort for the fowls Is synonymous
with profit.
Young chlckeus should be fed many
tinges during tho day.
Fowls suffer more from datupuesf
than from any other cause. ..
A liberal dust bath for fowls Is tho
best protection against vermin.
Fowls bavlug a free run will find
their own feather-making food.
Cedar brush bung Inside the poultry
bouse will eradicate chicken lice.
In feeding fowls study nature, and
give them things they liko the best.
Turkeys when first batched are very
delicate and require considerable care,
Feathers should be plucked dry.
Scalding detracts from the flavor of the
flesh.
Meals should be mixed dry and
crumbly; it pauses illuess when toe

COMMfcRClAL REVIEW.
Central Trade Condition!.
R. G. Dun & Co.'i weekly review o'
trade says:
Distribution of merchandise shows nc
diminution, and prospects are bright
for continued activity. Dealers in manj
lines are irgcnt for proir.pt shipments
calling upon jobbers an J manufactur
ers for goods already overdue. This
indication of reduced stocks is a good
sign, and tends to sustain quotations.
Western reports are especially favor
able, and the early marketing of cot
ton has brought distinct improvement
t the South. Voluntary advances in
wages have been announced in a num
ber of instances, while the labor situa
tion is more satisfactory, although not
entirely free from controversy.
Supplies of cotton goods do not ac
cumulate in first hands, the demand con
tinuing to keep pace with production,
which holds prices steady. Few ex
port sales are reported, not through any
lack of inquiry, but owing to the fact
that sellers will make no concessions.
Wool averaged slightly higher in sym
pathy with the London sales, but fur
ther declines occurred in hides and
leather has become dull. New England
shoe shops have received large orders
for winter goods, assuring activity for
two or three months at some factories.
Strictly commercial failures in the
United States during the first -nine
months of 1902 numbered 8676. with de
'aultcd liabilities of $85,407,400. Last
year there were 808,1 failures for $80,
j;6o.g;2. In addition, there were 47
failures of batiks and other financial in
stitutions with liabilities of $28,027,198,
against 61 in igot. involving $17,295,554.
While the exhibit is less satisfactory
than last year's, only one other year
during the past two decades made as
favorable a showing.
Bradstrect's report says: Business

but very artistic. In the near future we
may expect some such announcements
as the following:
Mi. Puffan Blowso. the eminent

Even teachers sometimes have a sense
of humor. One to whom that gift has
not been denied teaches in an uptown
school.
Not long ago she was struggling
with a class in geography.
"What is a compass?-' she asked a
wide-eyed child, who promptly answer
ed, with the confident air of one who
knows:
"A compass is an interment for rind
ing directions." "
The teacher gasped, but John was not
detained, as were the others who an
swered incorrectly: For, as she smil
ingly remarked:
"Tradition would uphold him in his
belief that at certain stages of man's
development an interment is necessary
to find the direction in which he is go
ing." CURES

Hundreds of Dollars
Spent in Vain Pe
ruana Cured.
A neglected cold Is frequently th
cause of death.
lt Is more ofteu, however, the cause
of some i-hronlc disease.
There Is not an organ In the body
but what Is liable to become seriously
deranged by n neglected cold. Dis
eases of the kidneys, bladder and diges
tive orgnns are all frequently the result
of a neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars: are spent on
doctors nnd medicines trying to cure
these dlsenses. but until the true cause
of them is discovered there will be no
use In using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi
cine nnd constipation medicine Is of no
good whatever when catarrh Is the
cause. Tbe catarrh must be treated.
The cause being removed, the derange
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
orgnns, the urinary organs or any of
the internal organs.
If you do not derive prompt nnd sat
isfactory results from the use of Pe
runn, write nt once to Dr. Il.iitman.
giving a full statement of your case,
and ho will be pleased to give you bis
valuable lid vice gratis.
Address Dr. Ilartinnn, President ef
